"SCEA can confirm that SuperBot Entertainment did make a reduction in their workforce today," the statement reads. "The studio and SCEA remain committed to supporting PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale post launch, including developing the title's forthcoming DLC releases in the coming months. The first character pack (including Kat from Gravity Rush and Emmett Graves from Starhawk) will be available for download on Feb. 12 and will be free for the first two weeks. We'll be sharing news of additional upcoming content soon."
The word on these layoffs first hit the Web when Mike Birkhead from Insomniac Games tweeted, "Layoffs at SuperBot. When it rains, it pours."
Though numbers are unconfirmed, initial reports have the layoffs affecting around 20 employees.
